University Challenge, especially Monkman

[Nettletheelf]

Is it just me who thinks that Monkman, the captain of the Wolfson college, Cambridge, team is the best thing on TV?

[meditrina]

I thought Monkman had been knocked out?

Or is this part of the ever more complicated arrangements to gicpve everyone chances rather than an actual knock-out?

[cowgirlsareforever]

This is my dream episode.

[greathat]

They have to win 2 out of 3 to go through?

[greathat]

Monkman's really geting into his latin

[iklboo]

Monkman is definitely playing it up tonight. Or he's taken up am dram.

[Roomba]

I haven't seen many UC episodes this year, so was unaware of Monkman. Just turned it on and within 30 seconds was searching for a University Challenge thread on here as I thought it can't just be me howling at this guy, can it? And there's a whole thread about him!

[SauvignonBlanche]

He's less irritating this week but still scary.

[Roomba]

I'm finding him terrifying, not sure what he was like before but he really does look like he's about to eat someone when he yells out his answers!

[lampfromikea]

I do love his face when he gets one wrong. Especially an interruption.

[cowgirlsareforever]

He's been described as Roy Cropper's Canadian cousin.

[LineysRun]

Monkman on emperors. Fab.

[EffinElle]

I love his facial expressions.

[ememem84]

I love monkman. And Rudd.

Rudd wore an amazing green Siamese cat blouse the other week. I wanted to tweet her to find out where it was from and to tell her she's ace. But alas she's not on Twitter.

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

Rudd really rocks the 70s/80s retro gear. The Monkman is uber excited tonight.

[Roomba]

Roy Cropper's Canadian cousin

Monkman also reminds me of one of those sinister ventriloquist dummies that are always possessed in Hammersmith horror type films.

[ItsJustACompanyPolicyOfMine]

Hammer horror not Hammersmith

[MontalbanoFan]

Did they mention why the girl with the broken arm wasn't on tonight? In my excitement I didn't hear the introductions.

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

So pleased to see Monkman Wolfson going through! His expression and his delivery when he bellowed 'VICE!!' I nearly fell off the sofa.

[StiickEmUp]

Typing to the title, no!

Oscar Powell from last year! LEGEND

[MontalbanoFan]

Very sorry to lose Rudd.☹️

But, yay, Monkman! He's a LEDGE!!!

[cowgirlsareforever]

I agree it was sad to see Rudd go. She is a real fighter.

[cowgirlsareforever]

It's looking like a Seagull v Monkman final.

[MontalbanoFan]

That would be so exciting, cowgirl. But who to root for? I love them both!

[cowgirlsareforever]

I feel your pain Montalbano Choosing between them is tough. It was ban enough seeing Rudd leave last night. I see on twitter that people are comparing it to having to choose a favourite child.
